Public Institutions

Public institutions—including States, municipalities, and other government entities—are charged with ensuring the well-being of their constituents and the environment, and with maintaining a fair and competitive market to protect consumers, local businesses, and the local economy. When corporate wrongdoing threatens these entities’ ability to protect and serve the public, legal action is often necessary to safeguard their interests.

Our team’s legal aptitude in areas of importance to public institutions has allowed us to build close relationships with public institutions across the country, serving as trusted advisors. Our attorneys have represented States in critical antitrust matters against giant corporations. We have represented State municipal governments in the national opioid crisis against pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers, and distributors. And we have served as counsel to State attorneys general to help manage legal policy and strategy.

We have developed the expertise to help public institutions navigate the legal landscape they face every day. Our lawyers have the proficiency to partner with public entities, from States to cities to agencies, to tackle their most important and difficult challenges.
